Has Pokemon ever used dramatic irony before? We already know Colress is villain in episode 2, so it would be odd to see him acting in front on the trio from here. I mean, it's obvious to us because of the games, but even Cyrus wasn't introduced as a villain.

Well to be honest, we already knew Cyrus was a villain back in DP because of the games too.

Sadly, considering the quality of the past three tournaments, that one would turn out as rushed and poorly written as the rest of them.

Rushed, yes, but not poorly written.. What they did was for the most part quite well done:
- Don Battle: Showcase most of the rivals, showcase that Iris is a decent battler (important for later development into GL-trainee)
- Donamite: Made Scraggy from a baby into a battle ready wildcard, gave a bland rival the spotlight he needed, showed general growth among rivals.
- Junior Cup: Finished up Trip's storyline with Alder, and gave Ash a good evolution, and gave Iris development towards her goal.

Yes, some rivals, read Burgundy, don't get written well into these tournaments, but they're not that important eitherway, just as Cilan is never going to win one of these as well.

To be quite frank, they already spoiled it in the episode that he debuted in.. -.-

Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-

I quote myself because you find almost impossible what I'm saying when I see perfectly possible. I know that's difficult to all actually happen.

-I think that because Colress appears in the anime, they can adapt the Colress tournament for promoting the games. This won't be a Junior Cup, this would be a Senior Cup. Ash will battle Colress in it. This would take 3-4 episodes.

-I think that Ash will have Zekrom for battle N's Reshiram. Although that will be released after the battle. After that battle, Ash will defeat Ghetsis in a battle ending the big part of N's arc. Of course, Ash will release Zekrom. This could be in late-July (September end) or in August-September ( November end)

-I think that the Unova Gym Leaders will take a part in the N's arc. And I starting to heavily suspect that thwe new merch are indicate that these Gym leaders will re-appear in the anime. In the proposed Colress tournaments and in the re-visits of older cities that I see happening. I find very difficult that all Unova Gym leaders will appear but I think that some will do. Specially the central ones (Burgh*, Elesa*, Clay, Drayden* and/or Skyla)*Specially these.

-I'm going to start to think that the Unova League (by game standards) will have a big role. I expect a big role of Alder and the Elite 4: Shauntal, Grimsley, Caitlin and Marshall. And I think that each one will get 2 or 3 episodes (Caitlin can have 4 episodes including JC). The Unova League will appear complete in some episodes.

-I have very few hopes for the Unova's rivals with the exception of Burgundy and Georgia (the rivalries aren't resolved yet) and Bianca (because it's related to Juniper and now Cheren (that doesn't mean that she'll appear in the Cheren episode). In case of a tournament, I think unnecessary to have all of Ash's rivals in it. Specially with Gym Leaders in it. The exceptions could be Virgil, specially if Virgil is Champion. (that could explain why now it isn't apparently battling Ash). The Eevee short helps for Virgil's part, though.

I think that Bianca will travel to Ash to Kanto. Cilan could travel or not travel that plane but Iris has already left by then. That could mean that Bianca will appear in the 6th gen region? No. The reason why I think this is that Ash can't transport all of his pokemon alone (Ash has at least 10 pokemon now) meaning that Ash will need help to one of Juniper's assistant. And you easily find out that if the wroiters intend to give one of her assistant, they will bring to Kanto the most known for us (and for Ash), Bianca. This is a last-episode gimmick to take back Ash's pokemon into Kanto.

I think that it's possible that the Unova Elite 4 and Champion (Alder) will appear at the later part of Episode N. I think that in the case that Ash will defeat the Elite 4 (in normnal ways, impossible but in N ways... could and Ash could win). I don't see the Achroma tournament and the weak-Elite 4 showdown happening at the same time.

I think that N will appear in all episodes except the last three ones. Movie 16 included (read my post yesterday about it).

I don't nexpect Episode N lasting more than 40 episodes. And I think that there's something big to fight Ash in the end (where Charizard appears).

Note: I decided to not post post that had cause hate to me anymore. If you see one, please PM me and I will delete the moment I'm aware and I'm online.
I need to take a break in the anime forum because these forum bored me.

Apparently Satoshi's gonna have a try at the Hiougi Gym. As I said on BMGF, if they have him go for the league again, but with the B2W2 gyms, I am gonna laugh my *** off till the end of the series. Hopefully they don't, cause it would be extremely stupid and he has the badges anyway, but still if they do something so frivolous to justify this saga, oh boy..........

Who knows, I'm just speculating. Better theory his that he's just battling Cheren to break him into being a leader. I mean all we know is that Satoshi's gonna be exercising on the boat to Hiougi City for the gym.
